Age-related patterns in hysterectomy: indications and surgical route selection in a three-year tertiary-center cohort.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHysterectomy indications and surgical route selection may vary with age due to shifting case mix.
objectivesTo describe age-stratified hysterectomy indications and routes and identify factors independently associated with route selection.
designRetrospective chart review. SETTINGS: Single-center, tertiary-care teaching and research hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
methodsHysterectomies performed for benign or premalignant indications between 2022 and 2024 were identified and verified. Patients were grouped according to age [<50, 50-59, or ≥60 years]. Indications were assigned using PALM-COEIN and grouped clinically. Routes were categorized as open abdominal, laparoscopic/VNOTES, or vaginal. Comparisons used Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests. Multinomial and binary logistic regression adjusted for age group, parity, comorbidity, smoking, and prior pelvic/abdominal surgery.
main outcome measuresage-stratified hysterectomy route and age-stratified indications and predictors of minimally invasive versus open surgery. SAMPLE SIZE: 769 hysterectomies.
resultsPrimary indications differed significantly by age group (
conclusionsAge-related indication shifts accompanied major route changes, with greater vaginal and minimally invasive use among older patients. LIMITATIONS: Single-center retrospective design; residual confounding by indication and uterine size; conversions and standardized complications were not analyzed; unmeasured clinical/surgeon factors.
